Ra One digitally in two avatars

Not the avatars which you think… We are referring to the different aspects in which Shah Rukh Khan’s most ambitious project ‘Ra.One’ will be presented. Buzz is that the much anticipated superhero flick is being considered to be released in two versions – ‘Bada Ra.One’ and ‘Chhota Ra.One’. Sounds interesting? Then read on… According to sources, ‘Bada Ra.One’ will be a typical, full length commercial version, targeted at general audience and that will run for 120 minutes including songs and dance sequences. While, ‘Chhota Ra.One’, the smaller version of 90 minutes, will be sans songs and said to be re-edited version. This will have added action and visual FX sequences in 3D which will attract the young audience. And this one is heard to release post the full length 2D version. Recently production house Prime Focus Technologies successfully brought out the 90 secs promo in 3D format and after watching it SRK and director Anubhav Sinha were quite impressed. Following this, Shah Rukh is confident in making ‘Ra.One’ film in 3D, but currently he is in discussion mode and wants to be clear of every aspect. “We need about 60 to 70 days to turn all the sequences into 3D. If we are ready with what we want on time, after handing over the VFX to Prime Focus, I will convert parts of Ra.One into 3D, but not the entire film,” quoted Shah Rukh to sources.

Arya gives it up for Vishal

Jun 18, 2011 Arya is happy that Avan Ivan has got a good opening and talked about the hardship he and Vishal had to undergo during making of the film. The star said that it was Vishal who had to suffer a lot during the making of Avan Ivan and he really pitied him for sporting the lens and playing squint-eyed for nearly 250 days. Arya said that it is no mean feat to play squint-eyed when a person has normal eyes. He said that though he knew that this particular role would fetch him rave reviews and accolades, he decided to forsake the role for Vishal, his best buddy in real life.

Rajinikanth promises to complete Rana

He promises to complete ‘Rana'

Rajinikanth CHENNAI: Addressing fans for the first time after being discharged from hospital in Singapore where he was undergoing treatment, actor Rajinikanth affirmed that his goal would now be to entertain them. He promised that he would appear in the K.S. Ravikumar film ‘Rana'. “I have no words to thank you,” he said in a handwritten note released to the media on Saturday, after apologising for not having spoken to fans earlier. In his characteristic enigmatic manner, he spoke of the practice of tossing a coin to determine who would play first. In the game that he had to play recently, the world's top specialists and the latest medical technology were on one side, while his fans and their prayers were on the other. He expressed his (100 per cent) belief that it was the prayers that finally saved him. “You have showed the world how many people are fond of Rajini. If I am recovering now, it is because of all the love you people have showered on me. It is because you have considered me as a brother, a friend, as one in the family, and prayed for me.” “I will never forget your love…” the note in Tamil said. “When I put pen to paper words elude me.” Rajinikanth also mentioned that his first couple of calls had been to Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, who assured him of all support and help, and to his “friend” and former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi. The actor had been hospitalised a couple of times in Isabel Hospital and, later, was admitted to Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre before he left for Singapore with his family for treatment. It was said then that he had a lung infection and problems with kidney. Printer friendly page Send this article to Friends by E-Mail
